[Brock Beauchamp]

Has anyone informed this team that it's not *impossible* to go over .500? Lots of teams do it every single year.

Guess we're due for another four game losing streak. Why we play the games! Win Twins.. can we buy a run?

[Vanimal46]

On a positive note, the bullpen is fresh today if needed.

Alex Jackson at 1B?

Gross! It's that poor roster construction we talked about at the start of the year, locking in Bell to be a mediocre DH, and with Clemens needed at other positions, 1B is now the place for our backup catchers to start. *vomit emoji here*

He did ok actually there earlier this week, made a nuce play and got a hit. More than most guys last night did.

[Saxophone Joe]

KC continues to outplay us. Sound like a broken record, but breaking news: Badly need a W today heading into a 9-game road trip. HELP!

Lewis has actually done pretty well over there, yes he made an error last night but he seems to have adjusted fairly well.  Just think if they actually played him there every day how much that would help him.

Jackson has played one game at 1B, you may be making the same comment today because there is a good chance based on his inexperience there that he doesn't make a needed play or makes an error.

But hey, this is Little League, anyone can play anywhere.

[Patzky]

It's kinda sad. I believe the lineup is stronger with Jackson in it than without him. However you squeeze him in.

[Patzky]

Happy birthday to Derek Shelton. 🍺

[Church of Kreidler]

Didn't say this last night, but Rojas was really solid yesterday! It's been so nice seeing him settle in - he's grown a lot over the season!

[Robert Floren]

There's hope for the Twins, especially next year.  Bring on the Hamms Bear. boom whappa whappa, boom whappa, boom whappa ---from the land of sky blue waters

 

[Sjoski]

If Twins lose today...they were fortunate to avoid a 3 game sweep by the Mighty KC Royals....@ home!!!

If the lose...they belong in the "cellar" and are definitely "sellers."

On a positive note. I think they win today....going away...7-3 or so. ...and the drumbeat of hope carries on. 

[Church of Kreidler]

Even Martin looked shocked that he caught that! Incredible slide!

[mnfireman]

First ball off of Salvy's bat that didn't have the Twins OF all confused...

[RpR]

Just found out the Twins game is already on TV.

Lewis at 2nd base, Lord help them.

[Western SD Fan]

Is it bad to say that we can be happy to see a LHP because that means that Gray didn't get the start?

[RpR]

Martin is either slow, or their catcher is really good.

[Church of Kreidler]

Nerf Perez - he's simply to powerful

[Patzky]

Baffled I say!

[MMMordabito]

Lewis batting 3rd says all you need to know about this team's playoff viability.

[Heiny]

I think the Twins trade deadline thoughts should be on 9 new hitters.

Agreed.. 

[Patzky]

Maybe Bell can find those extra five feet today. 

[mnfireman]

Cameron against MIN this season (coming into the game): 11 IP, 1 ER, 7 H, 12/1 K/BB...

[Aggies7]

What in the world has happened to this offense 

[Patzky]

This is going to be like the A's game where Martin was the only one to get on base all day, isn't it..

Been bad since the Angels series.

I hope we win.
